It was a moment for reflection before sunrise, but I just reflected on that. As if the fog made sound denser, it keep it down; even the high pitch sounds of chatter from passing-by climbers seemed to crawl into the ground, inside the trail. An inner voice kept asking if I should use fill-flash for the rock. Numb from the humid cold, my brain did not reply with any action command, but I managed to smile while shooting simultaneously when the first light caressed the chosen foreground so subtly. Behind, Flat Irons remained cozily under its blankets of fog, like if waiting until I was done to come out. So I thank them.
